It is suitable for students from a wide range of industry backgrounds: arts, sciences, engineering, nursing, business, education, computer science, or technology. The MBA gives you control of your future, provides opportunities, and helps you to be a valuable contributor to the world around you. It will also have a positive effect on your income. According to the Graduate Management Admissions Council, at $115,000, the median salary of MBA grads is 75% more than that of people with a bachelor’s degree alone.
